Pros
Free books. An abusive, hazing-type atmosphere leads to a lot of close friendships.
Cons
Where to start? The atmosphere is incredibly toxic; members of senior management frequently gossip about each other and their assistants. This is probably due to the fact that everyone is working constantly; I've never seen such a collection of dysfunctional people desperately trying to find meaning in life through work. This place is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Unpaid overtime is required for promotion, regardless of whether one is legally entitled to pay. I was told this explicitly during a performance review. After years of excellent reviews, it counted against me that I dared to admit I was struggling with my work load after it was drastically increased. HR is aware that this happens, by the way. They turn a blind eye because the company loves its cheap labor. The union is powerless. The worst part is that while I worked here I thought it was normal to be told I was not doing enough, even when working 50-60 hour weeks. Normal being told not to ask for a raise or promotion because that could hurt my relationship with my bosses. Normal to be accused of not being dedicated enough to my job. Please, save yourself the time and effort. You deserve better than this.
